David Villa 'When I retire, I will be able to say I played with Messi' >> Read My Mind

David Villa: 'I have improved by playing next to Messi. In the future, when I look at photos of Messi in which I am next to him, I will be able to say: 'I played with Leo Messi''
David Villa: 'Messi is a player who demands a lot from those who are around him because you always need to be alert. Sometimes, it seems impossible that he has seen you, but he has. You must be ready for the impossible when you are playing with Messi because, it is not about what he does, but about what he makes others do'

David Villa: 'Honestly, I have improved by playing next to Messi. In the future, when I look at photos of Messi in which I am next to him, I will be able to say: 'I played with Leo Messi'. That is a privilege!'

- Many football followers I often speak to are not necessarily Barça fans. Some are even beginning to dislike us because we seem to be winning everything recently - I often say: 'Deal with it' and move on.

Anyway, the point I was making is that they don't necessarily see Messi as the best player on Earth because 'He's only ever played next to Xavi and Iniesta. I'd like to see what he can do at Bolton Wanderers' - which is a load of rubbish.

Leo Messi's talent is such that he would succeed anywhere. His charisma, skills and work ethic have no comparison. Unlike players like Ronalda, Rooney or Neymar, Leo makes his teammates better.
